Whats this bracket on the floor behind drivers side seat? (1955 2nd series)

Hello,
I finally got the courage to rip my wiring harness out of my small window cab so i could remove the small window cab for the new '55 big window cab that i have
I installed the cab today and keep seeing this bracket behind where the seat bolts on the floor, can anyone identify this bracket? It has clutch head bolts so I assume its from the factory...



Here is the new cab on my frame

Not 100% sure but it looks like a bracket to hold down the factory jack...

For what its worth, I have the same bracket in my '55 and I noticed that the factory jack in my company truck - an early 2000's Ford F350 - fit right in like it was made for it.

never did see the jack handle or the lug wrench though. Or any brackets to hold them. Anybody got those pics?
